Abstract

Purpose: In response to the low ability of Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) caused by teacher-centered learning and the lack of digital teaching materials that support analytical, evaluative, and creative thinking processes, this study aims to develop Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM) based teaching materials using Google Sites to improve the HOTS abilities of fifth grade elementary school students. Methods: This study used the Research and Development (R&D) method with the ADDIE model, which includes the stages of analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. The study was conducted at SDN 26 Kayu Pasak, Padang City, West Sumatra, with 21 fifth-grade students and their homeroom teachers as subjects. Data collection techniques were carried out through observation, interviews, questionnaires, and tests. Data analysis used expert validity tests, practicality tests, and effectiveness tests using N-Gain. Findings: Based on the research results, the STEAM-based learning materials created were very practical with a student response rate of 97% and a teacher response rate of 95%, included in the very valid category with a score above 90%, and successfully improved high-level thinking skills with an N-Gain value of 0.84 (high category). Research Implications: This study shows how STEAM-based teaching resources can be utilized as a substitute for creative learning to enhance students' HOTS and improve teaching standards in elementary schools.  Originality: This study focuses on the creation of STEAM teaching resources that are specifically designed and proven to have an impact on improving the higher-order thinking skills of fifth-grade elementary school students through a systematic, reliable, useful, and successful methodology.

Abstract

Purpose: The low reading ability of elementary school students continues to be a problem in education. This condition is influenced by the ineffective use of technology-based interactive learning resources and the limited use of digital multimedia in the educational process. This project aims to provide interactive learning resources based on the Nearpod application with a STEAM approach to improve students' reading skills in science lessons in elementary schools. Methods: The preliminary research, prototyping phase, and assessment phase form the Plomp model, which was used in this research and development (R&D) study. All fifth-grade students and a small pilot group of three fifth-grade students participated in the study at SDN 20 Gumarang. Data collection methods included tests, questionnaires, interviews, and observations. Validity, practicality, and effectiveness tests using pretests, posttests, and N-Gain were used to analyze the data. This study was limited to a small sample size and focused solely on reading ability. Findings: The results of the study showed that Nearpod-based learning materials had a very high level of validity, with a percentage of material experts of 83.87%, a percentage of media experts of 91.67%, and a percentage of language experts of 91.67%. The media was also classified as very practical based on comments from students (88.75%) and instructors (94.28%). With an N-Gain score of 0.63 in the moderate category and an increase in the average pretest score from 58.35 to 84.50 on the posttest, students' reading ability also improved as a result of the learning materials. Research Implications: Through active, interactive, and student-centered learning, this study advances the creation of cutting-edge STEAM-based digital learning materials that enhance students' literacy skills. Originality: In contrast to other studies that only use Nearpod as an interactive media without STEAM integration, the uniqueness of this study lies in the integration of the STEAM method in creating Nearpod media for science learning to improve the reading skills of elementary school children.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the Teams Games Tournament (TGT) learning model based on paired cards on elementary school students' critical thinking skills in fractions. This study used a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental method and a matching-only pretest-posttest control group design. The sampling technique used was cluster random sampling, with a sample size of 78 students, consisting of 40 students in the experimental group and 38 students in the control group. Data collection was conducted using a critical thinking ability essay test containing indicators for interpretation, analysis, and evaluation. Data analysis was carried out using normality test, homogeneity test, N-gain test, and independent sample t-test assisted by SPSS Statistics 25. The results of the study showed that the paired card-based TGT model had a positive influence on the critical thinking skills of elementary school students with a significance value of 0.001 in the independent sample t-test. The experimental group achieved a higher increase in critical thinking skills (0.7048) compared to the control group (0.6090). Learning activities involving group discussions, educational games, and tournaments can increase student engagement in the mathematics learning process. This research shows that game-based cooperative learning models can be used as an alternative mathematics learning strategy to develop elementary school students' critical thinking skills. Furthermore, the use of matching cards can help create more active, collaborative, and meaningful learning. This study integrates the Teams Games Tournament (TGT) model with paired card media in elementary school mathematics learning to improve students' critical thinking skills on fraction material, which has been limitedly studied in previous studies.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to analyze the relationship between the understanding of identity in Christ based on Galatians 3:26–28 and self-confidence among late adolescents studying Christian Religious Education at State Christian Religious Higher Education Institutions in Indonesia. Methods: This study employed a quantitative approach using a correlational survey method. The sample consisted of 150 students aged 18–21 years, selected through stratified random sampling from five State Christian Religious Higher Education Institutions. Data were collected using Likert-scale questionnaires measuring students’ understanding of identity in Christ and self-confidence. The instruments were tested for validity and reliability before the main data collection. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Pearson Product-Moment correlation with SPSS version 26. Findings: The results show that students’ understanding of identity in Christ was in the good category, with an actual score percentage of 78.28%. Their self-confidence was also in the good category, with a percentage of 79.94%. Correlation analysis revealed a strong and significant positive relationship between understanding identity in Christ and self-confidence, with r = 0.682 and p = 0.000. The coefficient of determination of 46.5% indicates that spiritual identity makes a substantial contribution to students’ self-confidence. Research Implications: The findings imply that strengthening students’ understanding of identity in Christ can support self-concept, emotional stability, and psychological resilience among late adolescents. Originality: This study contributes by integrating the theological concept of identity in Christ with the psychological construct of self-confidence in the context of Christian higher education in Indonesia.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aimed to analyze the cognitive, affective, and behavioral dimensions of Osing cultural literacy among junior high school students in Banyuwangi Regency and to examine differences in cultural literacy levels among schools. Method: This study employed a quantitative descriptive design involving 200 seventh-grade students from four junior high schools in Banyuwangi Regency, namely SMP Negeri 1 Glagah, SMP Negeri 2 Glagah, SMP Negeri 1 Giri, and SMP Negeri 1 Licin, selected through proportional random sampling. Data were collected using an Osing cultural literacy questionnaire consisting of cognitive, affective, and behavioral indicators measured using a Likert scale. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and the Kruskal–Wallis test after normality and homogeneity testing. Results: The results showed that students’ Osing cultural literacy levels were generally categorized as high to very high across all schools. In the cognitive dimension, the mean scores were 14.18 at SMP Negeri 1 Glagah, 14.18 at SMP Negeri 2 Glagah, 14.56 at SMP Negeri 1 Giri, and 14.16 at SMP Negeri 1 Licin, all categorized as very high. In the affective dimension, the mean scores ranged from 35.18 to 36.32 and were also categorized as very high. Meanwhile, the behavioral dimension obtained relatively lower mean scores ranging from 27.82 to 32.34, although still categorized as high. The Kruskal–Wallis test indicated no significant differences in Osing cultural literacy levels among schools (p > 0.05), suggesting relatively homogeneous cultural literacy among students. Research Implications: These findings highlight the important role of schools in strengthening local cultural literacy through the integration of Osing cultural values into learning activities and school programs. Originality: This study contributes empirical evidence regarding the multidimensional measurement of Osing cultural literacy among junior high school students in Banyuwangi Regency.

Abstract

Background: Cyberbullying has emerged as a serious concern in digital communication environments, particularly among university students in developing countries where research on this phenomenon remains limited. The psychological determinants underlying cyberbullying intentions and their consequences for students' psychological health have not been sufficiently examined within a unified theoretical framework.Purpose: This study examines how attitudes, social norms, and perceived behavioral control influence students' intentions to engage in cyberbullying and how these intentions relate to psychological distress among university students in South Sulawesi, Indonesia.Methods: A quantitative cross-sectional survey was conducted with 358 university students from multiple institutions in South Sulawesi, Indonesia. Data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM).Findings: Attitude (β = 0.324, p < 0.001), social norms (β = 0.154, p = 0.015), and perceived behavioral control (β = 0.292, p < 0.001) significantly influenced behavioral intention. Behavioral intention mediated the relationship between attitude and psychological distress (β = 0.064, p = 0.001) and between perceived behavioral control and psychological distress (β = 0.057, p = 0.010), while the mediation of social norms was not significant. The model explained 58.7% of behavioral intention and 32.1% of psychological distress.Research Implications: Cyberbullying prevention programs should prioritize shifting students' attitudes and reducing perceived behavioral control through digital literacy initiatives and institutional policies that strengthen online accountability.Originality: This study extends the Theory of Planned Behavior by linking behavioral intention with psychological distress in the context of cyberbullying, contributing empirical evidence from an underexplored cultural and regional context in Indonesia.Conclusion: Attitude, social norms, and perceived behavioral control are significant determinants of cyberbullying intention, with behavioral intention mediating the relationship between these psychological factors and psychological distress. These findings support the theoretical utility of TPB in digital environments and underscore the need for culturally contextual prevention strategies in Indonesian higher education.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the integration of gender perspectives into the art education curriculum in the Department of Fine Arts and Design, Universitas Negeri Gorontalo. This study is grounded in the importance of strengthening gender awareness in education, particularly in art education, which functions not only as a space for aesthetic development but also as a medium for social reflection and expression. The study employed a qualitative approach, with data collected through curriculum document analysis, analysis of Semester Learning Plans, interviews with lecturers and students, and classroom observation. The data were analyzed through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings show that the gender integration into the curriculum remains implicit and has not yet been structured systematically. Values of equality, diversity, and humanity are already included, but they have not been clearly operationalized in learning outcomes, teaching materials, learning strategies, or assessment. The study also found a gap between curriculum planning and learning practice, influenced by variations in lecturers’ and students’ understanding of gender issues. Art education has the potential to serve as a pedagogical space for developing gender awareness and critical social reflection, although this potential has not been optimally utilized. The novelty of this study lies in its connection between curriculum document analysis and the lived experiences of educational actors. Therefore, gender integration in art education needs to be directed toward a more explicit, systematic, and responsive curriculum transformation in order to strengthen the role of art education in developing critical and inclusive social awareness.

Abstract

Purpose:  This study examines the implementation of humanistic Islamic education management in supporting students’ moral and character development in a contemporary elementary madrasah context, where character education is often implemented separately from management practices. Method: This research uses a qualitative case study approach conducted at Al Umm Elementary Madrasah, Klari District. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with the principal and teachers, classroom observations, and school documentation. Data analysis followed thematic analysis to identify patterns in management practices related to character education. Findings: The findings indicate that humanistic Islamic education management is reflected in participatory leadership practices, integration of Islamic values in classroom activities, and the development of a school culture that emphasizes discipline, empathy, and responsibility. However, the implementation is context-dependent and varies across school activities, particularly in classroom practices and extracurricular programs. The role of the principal and teachers is important in modeling values, although its consistency is influenced by situational factors. Research Implication: The study suggests that humanistic-oriented management can support character education when integrated into daily school practices. However, its effectiveness depends on sustained leadership commitment and teacher involvement in implementing values-based education. Originality: Rather than proposing a generalizable model, this study provides a contextual description of how humanistic Islamic values are practiced in school management at a specific madrasah, contributing empirical insight into the integration of character education within management practices in a local setting.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to analyze the role of informal leadership in influencing policy responsiveness within the local bureaucracy of Bandung Regency, Indonesia. The study focuses on understanding how informal leadership patterns emerge and how they affect bureaucratic decision-making and public policy responsiveness. Methods: This research used a qualitative case study approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with 25 informants consisting of government officials, bureaucratic staff, community leaders, NGO representatives, and local residents. Focus group discussions and policy document analysis were also conducted to support the data. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis with source and method triangulation to ensure validity. Findings: The results show that informal leadership develops through personal charisma, close relationships with the community, and political patronage networks. These informal leadership patterns help accelerate coordination and improve communication between the government and society, which supports faster policy responses. However, the findings also indicate several negative impacts, such as dependence on certain individuals, unequal access to influence, and potential bias in decision-making processes. Research Implications: The findings indicate the importance of understanding informal leadership dynamics in local governance. Local governments need to strengthen institutional transparency and accountability while maintaining constructive relationships with informal actors in policy processes. Originality: This study provides empirical evidence on how informal leadership operates within local bureaucracy in Bandung Regency. The study also highlights the dual role of informal leadership as both a supporting and limiting factor in bureaucratic responsiveness within decentralized governance. Conclusions: Informal leadership has an important role in increasing policy responsiveness in local bureaucracy, particularly in accelerating coordination and strengthening social legitimacy. Nevertheless, stronger institutional control is needed to minimize the risks of political bias and unequal policy representation.

Abstract

Solid medical waste management in hospitals is essential for protecting public health and ensuring environmental safety, as improper handling of infectious and hazardous waste can lead to disease transmission and environmental contamination. As the national referral hospital in Timor-Leste, Hospital Nacional Guido Valadares (HNGV) has a critical responsibility to comply with established Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and national regulations. This study aimed to evaluate the level of compliance with SOPs in solid medical waste management at HNGV across four dimensions: policy, human resources, technical aspects, and operational processes, including containment, segregation, transportation, and disposal. A quantitative descriptive design with a survey approach was employed. Data were collected from cleaning staff and sanitation officers 60 using structured questionnaires and analyzed using descriptive statistical techniques, particularly percentage distribution, to measure SOP compliance levels. The results indicate a high level of compliance in several key indicators, including waste segregation (>90%), use of autoclave and incinerator systems (approximately 90–95%), and adherence to personal protective equipment (PPE) protocols (>90%). However, lower compliance was observed in temporary waste storage adequacy (<80%) and consistent use of specific protective equipment. Overall, HNGV’s solid medical waste management system generally meets established standards, although gaps remain in infrastructure and operational consistency. This study contributes to the existing literature by providing empirical evidence on SOP-based compliance in hospital waste management within a developing country context and highlights the need for strengthening infrastructure, equipment provision, and continuous monitoring systems to enhance sustainable medical waste management practices.
